Wildflowers Cover Everything

Hi Friends,

Happy to report that some of my work is now up on Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh Digital Exhibits. These works, part of my solo exhibit, “The Numbers Keep Changing,” were displayed at the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh in Summer 2019, with the painting hung alongside this corresponding poem, which also functioned as the label.

See it at here and down below.

WILDFLOWERS COVER EVERYTHING FOR FATHER PATRICK DESBOIS*

And the priest reports
A few villagers,
Aged but still living,
Remember

The festival days.
Mozart was played.
Strudel was served.
And beer.

There will be no towers
Of shoes or dentures,
No photo galleries,
No lampshades or gold teeth.

I write this poem
And Father Desbois does what he can
To survey, to count, to record,
But they were millions.
